TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The disclosure relates to the field of household appliances, in particular to a laundry
treatment apparatus with integral appearance effect.
BACKGROUND
[0002] With the development of the personal society, people have higher and higher requirements
on the appearance of household appliances. In the competitive selling of home appliances,
people can select the favorite appearance of the home appliances. The structural design
of the household appliances influences whether the household appliances are sold well.
The existing laundry treatment apparatus, particularly the clothes dryer, comprises
various types. The front plate is usually arranged on the lower portion of the front
surface of the existing laundry treatment apparatus, the control panel is arranged
on the upper portion of the front plate, a gap is formed between the bottom end of
the control panel and the top end of the front plate on the front surface of the laundry
treatment apparatus, which not only affects the appearance but also makes the structure
of the front plate of the laundry treatment apparatus complex and poor structural
stability. In order to achieve the effect of integrating the whole clothes treatment
apparatus, the front plate of the clothes treatment apparatus can be provided as an
integrated structure, that is, the front plate is an integrated plate, which covers
the whole front surface of the clothes treatment apparatus. However, when the front
plate is provided as an integrated structure, it is difficult to achieve a stable
fixing effect, because the upper side of the front plate directly contacts with the
table top of the clothes treatment apparatus, and therefore, the installation method
in the prior art cannot be used, for example, a flanging is formed on the upper portion
of the front plate of the clothes treatment apparatus and directly overlaps on the
framework of the box body, and then a control panel is installed above the front plate
to shield the flanging. It is also not possible to directly set a parallel protruding
connection lug on the top of the front plate as some clothes treatment apparatuses,
and the protruding lug is fixed on the framework inside the clothes treatment apparatus
to achieve the fixing of the top of the front plate. Because these clothes treatment
apparatuses all have a control panel portion arranged on the top of the front plate,
the connecting structure of the front plate is shielded, so the connecting structure
of the front plate is simple and rough. But when the front plate is of an integrated
plate-shaped structure, the existing fixing structures cannot be adopted, the appearance
is not attractive, and the stability of the connecting structure is poor.
